spammers using my domian email

[lukkyjay]

I've been getting a lot of returned messages that couldn't be delivered. They were sent from somebody using my domain address to send the emails (ixqu@mysite.com). The emails are usually about stocks, cialis, etc. Other than using javascript so show my email address on my site to keep bots from finding it, is there anything that can be done about this? Really annoying!!

It's called a joe job. There isn't anything you can do about it. Fortunately it does eventually end. You just have to wait it out.

Whenever I send emails from now on, will my address be tagged as spam?

Contact your system administrator who set up your email accounts -- tell them you want all outgoing mail to require authentication. After that, have them set up SPF records for your domain.

As far as getting off the black/spam list, you will need to submit a request for removal to each list. They will require you to provide proof that you've implemented some security measure to prevent it from happening again. Usually, the above steps (authentication & SPF records) are what they want.
